2 electrons
In the calculation of valence electron counts using the 18-electron rule, phosphine (PH3) contributes 5 valence electrons. Since each hydrogen atom contributes 1 electron, the total valence electron count for PPh3 (Ph = phenyl group) would be 5 (from phosphorus) + 3x1 (from hydrogen) = 8 electrons.
H:S:H : counts for two electrons that form a bond. ***There are also two electrons (or one bond) above Sulfur and below.All in all, sulfur possess 6 valence electrons while each hydrogen has one valence electron thus, satisfying the octet rule.
The total number of electrons in an electron configuration is given by the sum of the individual electron counts for each subshell (i.e. s, p, d, f). For example, in the electron configuration for oxygen (1s^2 2s^2 2p^4), the total number of electrons is 8, which is the sum of 2 (s subshell), 2 (s subshell), and 4 (p subshell) electrons.
The cross structure of CHCl3 represents the Lewis structure, where each element is depicted by its symbol with dots representing valence electrons around it. The dot structure of CHCl3 shows chlorine with 8 dots each and hydrogen with 1 dot, surrounded by carbon at the center.
There are several ways: First, the atom can from a covalent bond with another atom. This means that the two atoms "share" some of their electrons, and the electrons "count" towards the shell of both atoms. For instance, hydrogen, which has 1 electron and needs two to fill its shell, could share an electron pair with chlorine, which has 7 electrons and needs 8 to fill its shell, thus giving both atoms full outer shells Second, the atom could become a negative ion. This entails it pulling an electron off another atom and into its own shell. This is most common when atoms need only one or two electrons to fill their shell, giving us -1 and -2 ions (an electron counts as -1), though higher numbers are not impossible. Note also that since the atom that got they electron has a negative charge and the atom that lost it now has a positive charge, they tend to stick together in an ionic bond.
Elements are made up of atoms, which are the smallest units of an element that retains its properties. Atoms consist of a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons that orbit the nucleus. The unique arrangement of these subatomic particles determines the properties of each element.
Ions have an imbalance of charge, with either an excess or shortage of electrons.

Elements are located on the periodic table based off of their atomic number, but the vertical columns they are in (groups) show how many valence electrons they have. If an element were in Group 3 of the periodic table, it would have 3 valence electrons, and so on. This doesn't apply to the Transition Metals, so one should skip straight to Group 14, where the elements all have 4 valence electrons. Group 15 has 5, Group 16, 6, etc. The one exception to this is Helium, which is in Group 18 but only has 2.
To count the total number of electrons in a Lewis dot structure, sum the valence electrons for each atom in the structure. Remember to consider charges on ions, as positive charges reduce the electron count and negative charges increase it.

Static electricity occurs when an object has an imbalance of electrons. When two objects with different electron counts come into contact and then separate, some of the electrons can remain on one object, causing an excess negative charge (static electricity).

SP2 because there are 6 electrons off of oxygen, and each pair counts as "one" when calculating hybridization.
effective atomic number (EAN),number that represents the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of a metal atom in a metal complex. It is composed of the metal atom's electrons and the bonding electrons from the surrounding electron-donating atoms and molecules. Thus the effective atomic number of the cobalt atom in the complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ is 36, the sum of the number of electrons in the trivalent cobalt ion (24) and the number of bonding electrons from six surrounding ammonia molecules, each of which contributes an electron pair (2 × 6 =12).The English chemist Nevil V. Sidgwick made the observation, since known as the EAN rule, that in a number of metal complexes the metal atom tends to surround itself with sufficient ligands that the resulting effective atomic number is numerically equal to the atomic number of the noble-gas element found in the same period in which the metal is situated. This rule seems to hold for most of the metal complexes with carbon monoxide, the metal carbonyls as well as manyorganometallic compounds. By using this rule it is possible to predict the number of ligands in these types of compounds and also the products of their reactions. The EAN rule is often referred to as the "18-electron rule" since, if one counts only valence electrons (6 for Co3+ and 2 × 6 = 12 for 6 NH3), the total number is 18.
